Kasper:
For the daring, this should work. Check out the latest ESS via CVS
from software.biostat.washington.edu:/home/ess/repository I hope you
are versed in CVS! But, we are probably only a few days from a new
release (and a new server www.analytics.washington.edu). In any case,
as long as we are talking about unix-like OS's, i.e. solaris, linux,
mac os x, this should work rather painlessly. Edit your file remotely
with ange-ftp/EFS/tramp (kermit can also be made to work). Then,
press F3 and it will login you in to the remote server with ssh server
and run the program in a buffer called *server* as in your example. I
do this all the time, but you never know where your next bug will come
from. tramp is very tricky as is kermit so you should try the other
methods first.
